$\"%282.5qt%2F1min%29%2A%281gal%2F4qt%29%2A%2860min%2F1hr%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "read this as 2.5 quarts per minute times 1 gallon per 4 quarts times 60 minutes per hour.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "If you multiply the numbers in the numerators and then multiply the numbers in the denominators
\n" ); document.write( "you have:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28%282.5%29%2A%281%29%2A%2860%29%29%2F%28%281%29%2A%284%29%2A%281%29%29=+150%2F4+=+37.5\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Note how the dimensions work. The qts in the numerator cancel with the qts in the denominator,
\n" ); document.write( "and the min in the numerator cancel with the min in the denominator. All you are left with
\n" ); document.write( "is gal in the numerator and hr in the denominator. Therefore, the answer is 37.5 gallons per hour. \n" ); document.write( "
